Measures in at 6’0 185-pounds, the RB/DE Hargrove had 7 carries for 37 yards with 1 touchdown, and 7 receptions for 105 yards. Hargrove was lining up in the backfield and as a receiver at time. He has good athletic ability due to very good balance, good acceleration, change of direction, and speed. Very good vision. Hargrove has very good inside running and good outside running. He has a powerful stiff arm. A linebacker ran who a gap, he stiff armed him and threw him to the ground. In this game, Hargrove continued to shine as a receiving option. Very good ball tracking and catching skills. After the catch, he’d make defenders miss with his juke moves. He’s shown to be a reliable safety valve for his QB, currently in 4th amongst all Colorado players in receiving yards. Keep an eye out for this back from Bear Creek.
Hargrove plays LB/RB. This past season, he had 169 carries for 1135 yards with 4 touchdowns, 6.7 YPC, 46 total tackles (37 solo, 9 assisted), 1 TFL, 3 QB pressures, 1 INT, 1 PD, with 1 FR. Hargrove displays good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, change of direction, good balance, and speed. Uses his good vision and very good inside running to find the open holes. If it’s covered, he’ll pivot with his explosive jump cuts into the open hole. He’s a weaver but can also get physical with his good trucking. As a linebacker, he displays good read and reaction speed. Puts himself in position to succeed and uses his very good tackling to stonewall the running back. Very good strength to wrap and pull the ball carrier down. Good zone coverage too. Good block shedding and get off speed. With another strong off-season under his belt, look for Hargrove to make heads turn this season.
Hargrove brings a bruising presence to the backfield. He shows excellent burst through the hole and has the ability to get skinny in the hole, making him an ideal short yardage option. Averaging four yards per carry, Hargrove embraces physicality and is looking to expand his role this season. He’s a player quietly preparing for a breakout year as he continues to refine his all around game to pop onto the radar.
